Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Fang Li's group had just left with their people, and Shen Yao, already back in her room lying down, simultaneously received the news of their departure.

Those vines that flung people out were also hidden means of monitoring the valley.

The entire valley had been planted by Shen Yao with these cute little specialties she brought back from the Cultivation World.

Though these little cuties looked tall and mighty, fierce and terrifying one by one, in reality they were gentle and meticulous, Shen Yao's good partners.

"Go play quickly."

Patting the vine that poked its head in from outside the window, Shen Yao smiled at the corners of her mouth, leaning by the bedside with eyes closed to feel everything outside.

Wind blew, leaves swayed, thin mist brushed lightly, dewdrops fell.

The lively valley returned to calm, and the originally destroyed ground was restored inch by inch.

The mutual offset of Spiritual Energy and Magic Qi ultimately let Spiritual Energy gain the upper hand.

Everything happening in the valley was unknown to the three-person family-supporting group far outside.

Shen Yao would not speak of this matter; what she cared about most right now was her frequently active belly.

Tsk, it might also be due to that day's attack, causing the Spirit Fetus's condition to be unstable.

Shen Yao felt the Spirit Fetus's true desire and hurriedly manually induced childbirth for herself.

The commotion caused when giving birth to Liu Nian and Luo Sheng previously would not be any less this time.

Fortunately, the defensive array set up earlier was still there; as long as it activated smoothly, it could block most attacks.

It had been only three days since the war; just as the sun rose, the Spirit Fetus in Shen Yao's abdomen stirred.

The originally clear and bright sky instantly turned gloomy, with thunder constantly roaming among the cloud layers, pitch-black and dense.

Shen Yao lay on the bed with a pale complexion, sweat on her body soaking her clothes.

The abdominal pain was unbearable; she gripped her fist tightly, using all her strength, gritting her teeth and persisting constantly.

Rumble—

The thunder and lightning that exploded out of thin air made Shen Yao feel this time was different from the past; she only hoped the child in her belly could be safe and sound.

After a while, with the baby's clear cry, the child was finally born.

Huff

Shen Yao breathed heavily with a sense of relief, a relieved smile on her face.

However, just then, a huge bolt of lightning suddenly tore across the sky in the air, actually striking straight down toward Shen Yao's position.

Shen Yao was startled in her heart and hurriedly pinched a spell formula to resist.

The hidden vines surged up from the ground like a green sea, covering the entire tree house beneath her.

Terrifyingly, the bolt of lightning that struck down was extremely powerful, instantly breaking through the vines' defense and heavily hitting the tree house.

Fortunately, the tree house had one last layer of defensive array; the brilliantly bright light blocked the thunder and lightning, also making Shen Yao's body, already weak right after childbirth, even weaker.

Sigh

Shen Yao sighed; her body trembled involuntarily, and after taking out pills, she continuously put them into her mouth, turning them into spiritual power currents to repair her body's meridians.

At this time, her situation was the most dangerous; she could not do nothing.

Shen Yao forced herself to stay alert, took out array materials again to set up the room, and used the last bit of spiritual power in her body to activate the array.

Instantly, a dazzling light enveloped the tree house, forming a sturdy shield.

Letting out a huge sigh of relief in her heart, Shen Yao dragged her body to the bedside.

The newborn baby did not cry or fuss, but quietly opened its eyes to look at all this.

Shen Yao lowered her head to look; her gaze went from calm at first to full of surprise.

This, "Did I give birth to a Spirit Vein?"

The system in her mind was summoned by Shen Yao; the person and system faced the little baby on the bed, at a loss.

"No, that can't be," Shen Yao muttered to herself, thinking that the Cultivation World having all sorts of strange things was understandable, but this world actually having a Spirit Vein becoming a spirit was something even a fantasy drama couldn't portray like this.

The little baby seemed to understand its mother's words; its red little face wrinkled slightly, and the corners of its mouth opened as it wailed loudly.

Shen Yao:...

As an old person with rich experience in raising children, Shen Yao had considerable experience dealing with such incidents.

Shen Yao obediently held the crying baby in her arms and coaxed it gently; her expression was gentle, while in her heart she constantly urged the system, asking what exactly was going on.

Only the system could know some insider information, feeling it was related to this world's World Consciousness.

The system soothed the Host to calm down; it would go investigate news right away.

"It's best to hurry; if it was intentional by the World Consciousness, then it can only be said that her importance goes without saying."

Shen Yao looked down at the little baby in her arms, thinking that she had only been in contact for a moment; not only was the spiritual power exhausted in her body slowly recovering, but even the cultivation barrier that existed before had loosened considerably.

Unexpectedly, once she entered closed-door cultivation again, Nascent Soul cultivation realm was within reach.

Pity this place was not the Cultivation World; even if her cultivation realm broke through a certain level, she did not know where she would go in the future.

All sorts of thoughts popped into her head; Shen Yao shook her head, temporarily suppressing these in her heart.

The system went quickly and came back quickly; possibly because it had conversed with the World Consciousness before, the information it brought back this time was more comprehensive.

Centering on the baby in Shen Yao's arms, this was the Savior.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao's expression remained unchanged as she asked inwardly, "What about Liu Nian and Luo Sheng?"

The System replied, "That's true, only their divisions of labor differ."

"Liu Nian and Luo Sheng represent destruction, while this infant represents rebirth."

Shen Yao sneered, "It sounds nice, but they're all just tools of the World Consciousness—the former used to handle Magic Qi Invasion, the latter for Spiritual Qi Revival."

She had previously wondered why there was no trace of Spiritual Qi Revival in the present world, and how it could be revived.

Right now, it really was a fine bunch—if they couldn't find it, they'd just create it themselves, birthing one into existence.

To be fair, in some respects, this world's consciousness also played by its own rules.

System:...

The System was left speechless by its own Host's retort, but it couldn't say anything.

It grumbled that once this mission ended, it would definitely secure more rewards for its Host.

Shen Yao couldn't help but roll her eyes; those were matters for after the mission ended, and now they still had to continue missions—they couldn't just quit halfway, which wasn't Shen Yao's style nor the most profitable approach.

Telling the System to quickly withdraw and stop being an eyesore, Shen Yao focused on caring for the infant in her arms.

Though this child had just been born, the Spirit Fetus aptitude was always formidable, and besides, the burden on them was so heavy.

"You were born at dawn, with faint sunlight, so your name shall be Chen Xi."

Shen Chen Xi, representing herself, doing well herself, living for herself.

Far away in Jing Shi, Shen Liu Nian and Shen Luo Sheng suddenly put down their bowls and chopsticks, staring blankly at Xi Chen across from them.

Xi Chen:... Huh?

"What's wrong? Is the food not to your appetite?" They were all using Spirit Food.

Shen Liu Nian and Shen Luo Sheng shook their heads; at this moment, the three of them were resting at the Xi Family residence.

The problem in Jing Shi had been resolved, and they still needed to proceed from Jing Shi to the surrounding cities.

"Dad, I'm an Elder Sister now."

"Dad, I'm an Eldest Young Master now."

Shen Liu Nian and Shen Luo Sheng spoke in unison, then went dong dong dong running to the sofa, using their very familiar contact method to make contact.

Xi Chen:?...!!!

Xi Chen reacted; this was the signal that Shen Yao had given birth smoothly.

He no longer paid attention to the leftover Spirit Meal, running to the children's side to confirm together.

Shen Yao hadn't expected the two children to be so perceptive; she, who had already tidied her appearance, didn't hide it, smiling as she showed off the newborn infant, then asking if their actions outside were going smoothly.

Shen Liu Nian and Shen Luo Sheng didn't have many thoughts about their newly born Little Sister, but the hint from deep within their bloodline still made them want to protect their sister.

Patting their little chests to indicate everything was going smoothly, it was just that the situation outside was too terrible, and they would need some time before they could return.

"Don't be afraid, do well; Mother believes in you."

Those Magic Cultivators who died at their hands would ultimately become experience enriching their life experiences.

After chatting with the two little ones, Shen Yao didn't forget to soothe Xi Chen, whose mood wasn't high.

"Everything here is safe; as for your side, Magic Cultivators are naturally cruel and violent—be careful in everything you do."

If this batch could be handled smoothly, it would be a great thing for their side.

Not only would it weaken the forces of the Black Hand behind the scenes, but it would also delay the steps of the Magic Qi Invasion and give the entire planet a chance to continue developing.

One must know that this war wasn't decided by one person alone; it required everyone's joint effort.

Xi Chen cheered up to reassure Shen Yao; with him by the two children's side, he would absolutely not let them get injured.

"When we return this time, our family of five will never be separated again."

Xi Chen felt that given the current situation, things getting better was much harder than things getting worse.

Find an opportunity; they should bring Father, Mother, and Eldest Young Master to live with them.

In terms of security, who could rival Shen Yao? The protection of the entire valley was airtight.

Xi Chen couldn't yet be thick-skinned enough to let his family squeeze into the valley's interior.

But there were so many small towns outside; buying one casually was no problem.

Remembering this matter in his heart, Xi Chen found time to tell Xi Yi.

Coincidentally, Xi Yi had the same idea; the two brothers mulled it over and simply bought the house while keeping it from Xi Yanqing and his wife.

Although the houses around the valley where Shen Yao was located had already been firmly seized by certain interested parties, there would always be some room for negotiation.

After Shen Liu Nian and Shen Luo Sheng rested well in Jing Shi, the two of them were taken by Xi Chen to continue going out to work.

The farther they were from Jing Shi, the worse the situation became.

Even though Shen Liu Nian and Shen Luo Sheng had unmatched combat power, the Investigation Bureau and Patrollers accompanying them along the way all suffered varying degrees of damage.

This was extremely difficult to avoid; after all, Shen Liu Nian and Shen Luo Sheng were people, not gods, and there would be times when they couldn't look after everything.

Fortunately, the damage was not fatal and didn't greatly affect overall strength.

"Captain He, let's switch to another batch tomorrow; Liu Nian and Luo Sheng are fine, but they..." Xi Chen pursed his lips, feeling they hadn't reached the point of exhausted ammunition and provisions, so there was no need to insist on holding out to the end.

Captain He was a retired soldier, tall and sturdy, with strong personal strength.

He nodded with an "en," "I've already contacted the Division here."

"Tonight, let them take a car back as soon as possible to recover from injuries; tomorrow we'll go to the next city."

Captain He looked at the sky and sighed, "Recently, the Strange Instance situation is off; the manpower dispatched will only keep decreasing."

He told Xi Chen to prepare; very likely, in the end, only they would be left.

Xi Chen:...
